Title: New Puppy
Post by Roxy on Mar 4^th, 2003, 5:45pm

We've all hit a blank wall on our new puppy's name, and she's arriving tonight.

Any and all help will be appreciated......she's a female Australian Shepard, 8 wks. old.

My family thinks the clusterhead family should name her.....(they liked all the bloodthirsty responses! ;))

Thanks...Tracey

Any great ideas out there.....

I like the name TROUBLE too but someone beat me to it...good choice !! You could call her by the neighbors first name....jus jokein....juuuuus jokein....I always liked the names Max or Joey myself....(I love the movie Mad Max so what can I say)......I never worried to much if they were males or females with those names......now Butch I would. I always had pets named Toby to which is nuther favorite cute-sy ...Pam-that-likes-trouble-best ;D

Wait a couple of weeks and watch the dogs behavior and social interaction. Im sure then alot of possible names will come to you.

I'm with Karla on this one. My vote is "shit & piss all over the floor."

Post by Jarvis on Mar 4^th, 2003, 8:04pm

Never been too creative on naming the pets. We have 7 cats outside, ones named suzy the other 6 are named joe. Little joe, big joe, medium joe, ugly joe and the brothers joe. ... . Had an incredible wolf dog named Jack. Jack met his demise the same way your dog did, I found him with a bullet through him. Our current friend and champion shepherd is named Boonedog since we live in the boonies. Generally goes by the name butthead though. ... . For you I suggest the dog be named Roxy 2 or "Lonesome", just cause thats what it feels like at times when you lose a friend like your last dog. .. . Besides the dogs gonna be so lonesome at first, gonna howl and whine all night. Butthead works too.

I like "Phoebe." It's the name of the furball I dogsit now and then.

My cousin named her for the "Phoebe Snow" which was the name of the express passenger train between New York and Chicago on the Erie RR. And I tought I had problems...... :o

I don't know if I would be any help...I have a 130LB male Rottweiler named Roi. We call him Roy...but I'm told that Roi means king in french. Roi thinks he's a tiny lap dog though....definite identity crisis going on.

My friend has a dog named Maggy...I've always like that name for a female. Just another suggestion.

Title: Re: New Puppy
Post by juvy on Mar 5^th, 2003, 4:09am

couple suggestions:

Poison (ivy)-Brother named his Python this

Malice

T-Wrecks: short for Two wrecks (one coming, one going)
that's what my father named his chocolate lab

I always liked the name Belle for a female dog but was always out voted by the family.

But you really can't name them until you see their personality.

Cheers,
April

Title: Re: New Puppy
Post by echo on Mar 5^th, 2003, 9:20am

"Echo" -- dogs usually can't stop at a single bark. And it's much shorter than "Yardcrapper".

Whatever name, remember that the true test is to stand on your front step and yell the name, repeatedly, at the top of your lungs. If you don't get arrested, attacked, groped or feel like an idiot -- you've got a winner.

Title: Re: New Puppy
Post by woobie on Mar 5^th, 2003, 9:23am

Zoie

sounds like "Chloe".. my new puppy. :D (Is that the way you spell Zoie? Zoi? Zowie? I dont know.. i just like that name for a female doggie.

I hope you're going to post some pics later!! Congratulations on a new puppy!! I love Chloe!! She's definately sumthin else...

Well....Didja name her, yet? I vote for.....(Drumroll, Please).........

1) Sierra
2) Duchess

Depending on your personality...However I've read that it is now nouveau to give a pet a human name. ???

Post by BruceD on Mar 5^th, 2003, 2:31pm

Rox,

Glad to hear things are lookin' up for you. I only have a couple of requirements for dog names.

1. It's gotta be short enough that the dog understands you're talking to 'em. (one syllable is best)
2. Gotta have a "hard" consonant so that you can really bellow it when they're messing up.

I'll add a new one to your list ... GRACE. As in Grace under fire. We were gonna name our Lab that, but got a male instead. I guess that wouldn’t bother one of my office mates, he has a couple of female dogs and insisted on naming them Freddy & Larry. Go figure.

Title: Re: New Puppy
Post by Roxy on Mar 5^th, 2003, 5:31pm

The new puppy arrived last night.....she is just too cute and sweet. Wish I knew how to get a picture up here.

The debate on the name is still continuing (raging would be a better description)....right now it's 'hey you'. All the names suggested are already in the mix except for butthead (that's what my daughter calls her brother...so we'd get confused there), and Bear (that's what my rott that the same neighbor poisoned was named).

I'll keep ya posted on the arguments!!!!! ;D

Post by cathy on Mar 5^th, 2003, 6:36pm

::)...I've read all the names and think 'Cluster' is the best....if you ever hear your neighbour question why the dog's named cluster you can just smack him in the head with a shovel and poke his eye out with an ice pick...you know, just to give him a clue...LOL ;D

cathy..

Post by woobie on Mar 6^th, 2003, 6:36am

OMG HOW CUTE IS SHE!!!!! :D

8 weeks?? she's big.. right? Chloe was a tiny thing at 8 weeks. or is she just FLUFFY? mine's not fluffy.. :-[

Now, I dont know about the name Cluster.. I think of the Cluster as the BEAST, EVIL... bad.. something I want to AVOID ... not a PUPPY that you're supposed to love, and who loves you. The cluster does not love.

Zoie - that's a good name for her.. she LOOKS like a ZOI!! ;D

are her eyes really that color, or is that just the pic??

Let us know what you name her!!

What a beautiful pup!! How about Vera? hehe it's a female name? what the heck...I always have a hard time naming my pets. What was Don's dog's name? You could always name her after his dearly departed.

Good luck house training the little gal!

Post by Roxy on Mar 6^th, 2003, 2:30pm

And we have a winner! ;D

I like Zoe...but, that name's already taken by a friend. Our English Mastiff is already called Cleo. The kids said they would prefer to not ever think about cluster's if they don't have to, so the name cluster was out.

So....they named her after a beer....go figure!

They named her Zeigon (after Zeigonbock...my son's preferred choice of beer).....it was immediately shortened to Ziggy. She does seem to zig and zag everywhere.

Two days and no accidents in the house....we're on a roll here!

Title: Re: New Puppy
Post by woobie on Mar 6^th, 2003, 5:12pm

Ziggy is good. I like that. You have my blessing!~ LOL

Glad you didn't name her after the ugly BEAST!! ;)

Hi Roxy

I got in on this post way too late!

I am so envious of you getting a new puppy. I love the Australian Sheepdog. It has a great nature and is very intelligent. I am looking for one myself as a companion for my 3 year old Belgian Shepherd Cora. She is jet black, very bright and energetic. We have done the obedience and defense training which was worth the effort. She is my constant companion when at home and keeps me fit.

John
